If you prioritize high brightness and HDR gaming, the Pixio PX277 OLED Max might suit you better, as its peak brightness is notably high. However, if you're looking for a gaming monitor with a wide variable refresh rate range, the LG 27GS95QE has that advantage, enhancing your gaming experience with smoother visuals. Both are suitable choices for digital photo editing, with a good color gamut coverage, but for HDR video editing, the Pixio stands out due to its HDR capabilities. For competitive gaming, the LG's very low total response time minimizes ghosting for fast-paced action. Choose the Pixio if cost-saving is important without compromising on key features for creative work and media consumption. Give Feedback
